About this work

This painting shows a close-up of a nude figure’s back and arm. The skin is painted in swirling greens and blues, with thick brushstrokes that catch the light. Bright yellow and orange patches glow against the darker tones, and the background blends into a mix of greens and blues, almost like foliage. The thick, textured paint makes the figure feel almost sculpted. It’s hard to tell what’s real and what’s imagined—like the artist grabbed colors and slathered them on. If you like this style, look up *impasto*.
